Rules and laws are today an integrated part of society. They are necessary for the safety and precautions of all that abound within a person’s daily trading and usage. The protection assumes mounting importance regarding the health and medical sector, here, the medical device industry; EU MDR 2017/745 is part of it.

In 2017, the European Union rules amended drastically from the beginning to end processes of the medical device industry to boost its reliability in society today. As the rules readjust with the ever-changing scenario of medical devices, one related to the industry must keep pace with the new regulations. The Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) sharpens from the Medical Device Directive (MDD) in this aspect. 

Medical Device Directive vs. Medical Devices Regulation

The MDD that has spanned over two decades grew out of the vigilance and risk management that surfaced over time. The MDR has a technological cutting edge over unique identification and quality with newer and detailed chapters and more annexes.

Compared to the MDD, the MDR has put forth additional and specific rules for all the medical devices that will float into the market. The medical device manufacturers will have to adopt stricter certification obligations, labeling, documentation, and device identification for better efficiency of the devices and protection against loopholes.

Preclinical, Clinical and Post-clinical Stages

• The ISO 10993 lays down specific conditions for medical devices before using them on the human body. With the greater need in the EU countries, the new regulations cohere with the ISO frameworks and substantially help keep the medical device industry free from spuriousness. The ISO 10993 is also amended to intricate testing strategies, focusing more on the chemical, physical and biological aspects involved. Lives will not be played with. 
• With greater emphasis on safety, the MDR will force medical device manufacturers to present more clinical evidence and post-market surveillance, giving it importance within the consumer protection side. The scope has included much more than the MDD, from a simple definition of med-useful devices to an all-inclusive one, even including the products combined with an ancillary medical device and the ones that are not directly or fundamentally for medical usage.
